10 Iron gives you 100 EVs, which is 25 stat points at level 100. so you'll get one extra stat point every 4 levels you raise it.

if you're wondering why there wasn't a big boost the very next level after you fed the vitamins, you should check its stats before and after using them. vitamins force recalculation of stats. even at level 5, feeding 10 iron will give at least +1 to a stat that isn't lowered by its nature.

i don't understand your second question, though. evolving is completely separate from EVs, the two have nothing to do with each other. when a pokemon evolves, it keeps the EVs it had before, so a blaziken with 252 EV in a stat will have that stat higher than a blaziken with 0 EVs in it.

Here's something that is leading me to believe something different about breeding for IVs:

Normally if both parents have 3 flawless IVs in 3 of the desired stats, I should expect a 1/20 chance that one of its offsprings will have all 3 desires stats as its parents flawless IVs and that 1/32 chance it may have a 4th stat that is flawless also. Here's how I figure it being a 1/20 chance (50% male makes it 1/40):

based on the above, any offspring should have at least a 1/2 chance that HP is flawless if both parents of flawless HP. I was fortunate recently where I was able to pass on aerodactyl's flawless IVs in hp/attack/speed to taillow within 20 hatchings, and to get a nincada with flawless hp/attack/speed & defense within 60 hatchings which started with a masquerain with flawless attack/speed and a female nincada with flawless speed and swaps included a male offspring with flawless attack/speed, a ditto with flawless hp/speed. Now here comes the baffling part: I got it to where the pairings were a male slowking and a female seel both with flawless hp/defense/sp.def, but it has now been over 400 hatchings and I have yet to receive a male seel with flawless hp/defense/sp.def and have had a few that have come oh so close but the breeding expert in Battle Frontier would never mention the 3rd stat as being flawless even after over 30 times. I know for a seel, an HP flawless stat is 23, defense = 13/12/10 depending on nature, and sp.def = 14/13/11 depending on nature. While I expect HP to be flawless half the time, the most I see in batches of eggs are usually 1 and rarely 2, and oftentimes none, so I am wondering if the frequency of an HP stat being inherited is more rare than other stats or am I just being unlucky. This also leads me to wonder if certain pokemon can only yield 1 stat as opposed to up to 2 and perhaps this pairing was probably never meant to be even though there were a few female offsprings that were indeed the desired triple-flawless. The main purpose of breeding for seel was to pass the flawless hp/defense/sp.def to the field egg group so to pass them onto smeargle whom can pass them onto eevee if I was breeding for an umbreon. If this is the case, I might start breeding with meganium & seedot instead since that requires 3840 steps to hatch at least.

Oh, I meant do the changed base stats in a different evolved pokemon affect the amount of stats raised that are influenced by EV's at each level raise. It seems not though.

"The Ugly Barnacle"
Once, there was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly everybody died (That means you).
The End.

Yeah, that's what I thought it would be. I accidently thought I saw your max Speed and Sp. Defense reversed, so that's why I got confused. Looking at it now, though ... I don't see a possible way for Lv 47 Metagross to have as low Sp. Defense as 77. Maybe that was the one that was reversed?

Not sure if this has been said or not but for Special Defence, instead of fighting Tentacool and Tentacruel which can very from god knows what level and have several other pokemon thrown in, I found this to be a very good spot to train at Sp. Def.

South of Fallabor but before the cave, its got Lotad, Lombre and Swablu which give 1, 2, 1 respectively for Sp. Def EV's. Don't remember the level though, only around 16 I assume but I preferred it to surfing.

Just wanted to let anyone know, sorry if it's been posted but there's 11 pages here, and a reminder never hurt, right?

I wish I didn't try and get a Cloyster on my Emerald game now and get a bad egg. Ah well, I'm saving up for a DS Lite as we speak and plan on buying Emerald so I will play through that as quickly as possible so I can get back to breeding pokemon. Much easier when you've beaten the E4 and essentially have unlimited funds - not to mention you can fly to BF to get your IV's checked.

I don't believe anyone knows anything more exact than that. They're just one of the hidden values in the game, like IVs, only this one ONLY has an effect on Wurmple. What we do know is that personality values don't change, because a Wurmple that starts to evolve into a Cascoon once will always evolve into Cascoon, no matter what time you evolve it, the location, etc.

Since there isn't any way to SEE the personality value of your Wurmple, it doesn't matter much anyway.

Hey mods, guess what, theres a spam post in a thread in a forum. Im not gunna tell you where! You have ot look for it! Lol! And when you dont find that specific post in that specific thread wihtin 5 MINUTES... Im gunna post a thread to complain about your poor modding behavior =( *****es. HOW DARE YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ME!?!??! Now start searching.

I've read the section on Vitamiins, but I'm still confused. >>; I just hatched a Slowpoke that seems to have pretty good IVs. I'm trying to EV train it, so I followed your suggestion about giving it all the vitamins before it battled. No change in it's stats, so I leveled it up using a Rare Candy. It just gained the normal amount of points, my vitamins had no effect! D= So now I'm confused and basically just wasted a rare candy and tons of vitamins. x.o;

Is it known its limit:

IE:

IV: 1-31
EV: 0-510
GV: 0-255 (I think)

What is it? 1-8? (Guessed that because if below 4, it is Silicoon, so I just multiplied 4 by 2).

gender value is 0-255, yes. if a PV = 4 is the dividing line, then PV is probably 1-8 or 0-7.

yes. at level 50, the 100 EVs given by vitamins will give it an extra 12-13 stat points (more with a +stat nature)

all pokemon that gain EXP gain EVs, even if they didn't fight, unless their EVs are maxed out. and unlike EXP, EVs aren't divided. so if your lead pokemon defeats a spinda, both it and any pokemon with an EXP share will get 1 EV in SAtk.

When you battle using Regice with Quiet nature against Spinda. Regice is at lvl.40 with 104 Sp. Attk attached with Macho Brace. I battle a couple of Spindas and the base Sp. Attk didn't gain anything until I put Regice in PC and took it out and it raised from base of Sp. Attk from 104 to 105. Does EVs training have to do with PC?

You won't see any stat gain from EVs until you either gain a level or put it in the PC. For some reason, putting a Pokemon in the PC recalculates its stats to add in the EVs it's gained. However, you won't see any AUTOMATIC stat gain (ie, checking your Pokemon's stats right after beating a Spinda).
